>> today who talking about an important change to our national delivery system. over the past couple of years we have been advancing this idea of making changes to our schedules. an important part of our strategy and returning back to financial stability. we are out a point where it is necessary to make that move. i would like to spend a couple minutes discussing the financial reasons for this delivery schedule change. and since 2008 we have seen a steady decline and the united states mail. people pay their bills on line. it is simple, easy and free. you cannot beat free.

on the other hand, people do not like to receive a hard copy bills and statements. the fact that businesses continue to send mail to the home it shows that people really do value the mail that they received. they make their payments on line though. this has put tremendous financial pressure on the postal service. the biggest question is can we add that to these changes in the marketplace? this results and a major and balance between costs and revenue. this past year the postal service posted a financial loss of $15.9 billion. by any measure that is unsustainable and unacceptable. a 15 to $29 billion loss 11.4 billion

was the amount we were obligated to pay the treasury to cover our health benefits. we went into default on these payments but because we did not have the funds. we operate like a business. we generate all of our business through the sales of our businesses. we do not retain the tax dollars. we also do not have a way to reduce the cost of the way the business works. to get some perspective of our situation, a typical large organization would have cash on hand or borrowing ability. and october of this year the postal service has up to four days of cash on hand. that is a scary business fsituation for a business to

be in. we face some major hurdles to return to financial stability. we need to generate nearly $20 billion in cost reduction and revenue increased and close the budget cap and be able to repay our debt. this is why we have been directed to take every necessary step to continue our operations. we will be accelerating these efforts moving forward. since 2006 we have made tremendous cost reductions. we have laid off people. reduced the cost

line by $15 billion. we consolidated over 200 processing facilities and deleted routes. i of another organization public or private backing claim that a comparable level of cost reduction. this is all while still continuing to achieve high levels of performance. despite all of these efforts we still have a large budget gap. today we are announcing that we're moving forward with the change to our national delivery schedule. the new delivery schedule will result in a $2 billion annual cost reduction. it is an important part of our

return to financial stability. beginning the week of august 5th this year the postal service delivery schedule will consist of six days of a package delivery and five days of mail delivery. the past years we have proposed moving to a five day schedule for both male and packages. our new approach is based on a great deal of customer influence we have heard over the last six or seven months. there is a strong demand for package delivery on saturday. what we are announcing today is not complicated. there will be no changes in terms of post office hours. we will continue to deliver mail to post office boxes on saturdays, that is important for a number of businesses. regular mail will run on monday through friday and we

will not deliver regular post mail on saturday. >> the home delivery of saturday mail coming to and and and august. jackie sissel is live outside the downtown berkeley post office getting reaction to the big announcement this morning. >> piquancy the model on the side, we can deliver for you but that means five days a week and not on saturday. we are going down to five days of weak the post office lost $16 billion last year. i had a chance to talk to some people out here this morning and some of them will miss the saturday service. >> i think it is a shame. i will miss the mail on saturdays. it seems like we

need them all. we started e- mail, we have twitter. letter writing is a wonderful form and i do not think e-mail is a replacement for letter writing. >> saturday service is not completely going away, it is only first-class mail. packages will still be delivered on saturday is which is good for most people. the traditional male though, the more. --mail >> temperatures are in the 30's and 40's right now and mid to upper 50s into the afternoon. big changes. wet weather thursday and to friday. full details on that coming up and my next report. >> we have a couple of hot spots developing. what i
